If you havent heard by now, this article will shed some light on ' The Varsity Cup Rugby Tournament', http://bit.ly/xLJPb9 with regards to the claim of ensuring a bigger and better tournament. The crux of the article is the following paragraph, which could revolutionalize the game of rugby as we know it. "The organizers said; the value of points would be switched around, with a conversion worth 3 points, and penalty kicks and drop goals worth 2." Some would term this as a 'master class move' , by the rugby brains of South Africa, in an attempt to REWARD try-scoring teams. Someone has to start, I'm excited that we are the guineu pigs and as a rugby fan in my opinion; a much needed change to move rugby in the right direction. A simple example would be using the official International Rugby Board (IRB) point-scoring system in which a try is worth 5 points a conversion 2 and a penalty and drop goal worth 3.

Another great piece from United Rant on www.unitedrant.co.uk Manchester United heads south this weekend at the start of a testing stretch for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men. The Scot’s side visits Arsenal on Sunday, with a month of potentially decisive fixtures ahead. But Ferguson must again do without without a phalanx of key players at the Emirates as injury continues to bite into the Scot”s resources.

Cleverley moves from the gym to running outdoors this week, with the 22-year-old now out of the cast that has protected an injured ankle since the midfielder hobbled off against Everton in October. The youngster departed just 58 minutes into his return from a similar injury su...

 A Competition also known as the Spanish Cup, the first of two encounters in one week for these Spanish giants,and will be the eighth time the two have met since April, boy am I looking forward to this! Last time out in Madrid, besides scoring to early and not taking their chances, the magic of Messi & co took advantage of that and proved my prediction wrong. Tonight might very well be much of the same, though I wouldn't say either team are in sparkling form and I do feel this is the most confident Real Madrid team coming into an El Clasico (in a while), especially because the feeling in the camp is that they could have. . .no wait they should have won in the last encounter and didn't. Madrid have injury doubts over Sami Khedira and Pepe but expect to welcome back Angel Di Maria, who has been very important for them this season, Alvaro Arbeloa is suspended after losing his appeal. Barcelona's long-term casualties Ibrahim Afellay, Dav...
